RangerClay Posted August 31, 2009 Report Share Posted August 31, 2009 I did today. After celebrating my medals yesterday it was back to work on the house. I was stripping off the old siding today. With every piece I pulled off, 15 years of dried up dead bugs would rain down on me. By the time I was done I was nothing less than filthy and smelled like decay. I was never so glad to get in a shower. Now the real work begins tomorrow. The part on the end of the house that is covered in Tyvec is our new addition.

OJR Posted September 1, 2009 Report Share Posted September 1, 2009 That is not any fun at all. One job I did, when we pulled the upper kitchen cabinets down, there must have been at least 2 inches of cockroaches that rained down on me and in my shirt! Even after a shower I felt like I was still crawling! UGH!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adjam5 Posted September 1, 2009 Report Share Posted September 1, 2009 You have your hands full. Be careful on the ladder...PLEASE! Any wasps or yellow jackets to contend with? They are usually much worse than dead bugs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wtnhunt Posted September 1, 2009 Report Share Posted September 1, 2009 You have your hands full. Be careful on the ladder...PLEASE! Any wasps or yellow jackets to contend with? They are usually much worse than dead bugs. Was thinking the same thing as Anthony here. We have wasps get behind the shutters by the windows, wasps seem to like hanging around the siding here. Cannot be too careful when going up and down or working off a ladder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cannot be too careful when going up and down or working off a ladder. I was worried too. I found several nests but they were all unoccuplied. I'm not sure what is going on but I havn't seen half of the bees I normally do here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
